Wind, sand and sun: Plastic plain bearings for solar technology

Always at the right angle to the sun: This is guaranteed by the SolarOptimus tracking systems on the latest Conergy photovoltaic systems.

Wind, sand and sun: Plastic plain bearings for solar technology

Always at the right angle to the sun: This is guaranteed by the SolarOptimus tracking systems on the latest Conergy photovoltaic systems. The twin-axis drive systems are controlled by an astronomical algorithm which increases the production efficiency of eco-friendly energy by around 30%. To enable the systems to run maintenance-free over longer periods even under extreme weather conditions, Conergy decided to use igus® components for all plain bearing applications as well as rod end bearings and linear units.
